TCM Greatest Classics Legends: Judy Garland (The Harvey Girls / For Me and My Gal / Summer Stock / In The Good Old Summertime)

I purchased "TCM Greatest Legends: Judy Garland" as a birthday gift for my wife. Neither of us can stand the violent and vulgar fare being offered on network and cable television these days so we choose to spend most of our evenings viewing classic films. "TCM Greatest Legends: Judy Garland" offers up four films from Judy's heyday in the 1940's. What an outstanding collection! All four of the films included here were new to us and we thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them. Several years ago I had read a book about "The Harvey Girls" and when I discovered that a movie was made about them I was very anxious to see it! What an unexpected treat! The songs are terrific and Judy gives a stellar performance in this one. TCM Greatest Legends: Judy Garland" also features a pair of films teaming Garland with the legendary Gene Kelly. How can you possibly go wrong? "For Me and My Gal" features a solid script, outstanding numbers and fabulous dance routines. A thoroughly entertaining experience! Now my wife and I agree that "Summer Stock" was probably the weakest of the four films but I would still rate it as a solid four star offering. Finally, there is "In The Good Old Summertime" starring Judy and Van Johnson. We were quite surprised to discover that this was a musical remake of another outstanding classic film "The Shop Around The Corner". We both loved it! TCM Greatest Legends: Judy Garland" also includes a number of special features that we also appreciated. The shorts, cartoons and trailers are a welcome addition and will add to your enjoyment of this very fine collection. Twenty years ago (when I was 43) I would not have been caught dead watching any of these films. But I find that the older I get the more I enjoy the great musicals of the 30's, 40's and 50's. Highly recommended!

Love these wonderful movies.

Gudy Garland really was a fantastic, very talented actress. The stories in the movies are ones that are good for families. At a time when American education is stultifying this generation, movies like this enrich our culture. They promote values of hard work and treating people with respect. Young people would benefit greatly by seeing older movies like these. They have great talent and stories that might wake up young people and get them off texting, cell phone addiction, and Face book. As someone who has taught for 35 years, these types of films are great investments for family life. Keep your kids at home, teach them yourself, because public education has been reduced to indoctrination into political correctness. Even your grandmother could do a better job. She would take they kids to the library and made shure they learned something. Whereas, many schools pass out work, students copy, can't pass the tests. Then, they are given tests for learning disabilities. Of course they find them. Why would they not find them, since no effort at teaching is being made. Teachers are clerks, tools of the state. Students are forced to practice for state tests, but never to think. So you have school with 10-30% of students with learning disabilities.Their solution for the common ADD disability are drugs: now you have real zombies, not just in the movies. Keep your kids at home, get some good movies and materials. These types of films are good for your family!

Got this for my dad and he loved it. All the movies he wanted on one disk.

The price is right for these four Judy Garland musicals on DVD.

I have one complaint. My phone shows delivered, but product didn’t arrive . I was supposed to have received 3 deliveries today but only 1 actually delivered. The other orders are still pending

I really loved the movie, 'In The Good Old Summertime.' It was so funny and enjoyable! A real feel good movie like mac and cheese, fried chicken, and apple pie. Judy Garland and Van Johnson were great together ! This movie had such a good love story too. Cuddles was funny with his famous violin, how he would torture all his employees when he played it to comfort himself. The movie 'The Harvey Girls ' was really good and I enjoyed watching it a lot. Angela Lansbury was really good in this movie, her and Judy Garland are smitten with the same man; which leads to much hostility between the two. 'Summer Stock' I thought was a cheesy movie! The Movie reminded me of a cross between an Elvis Presley movie, and Frankie Avalon movie. The other movie, I have not watched yet, but looked at. But, the other two movies are the best on the disk. I just wish they would of had 'Meet Me In St. Louis' on this collection Instead of one of the other two movies.

She was and remains the very best asset and resource of the musical entertainment world. No one ever did it like Judy Garland and there have been many fine actresses along the way...all supremely talented...but the Garland legend is not just legend...it is fact. She remains the best of the best and her musicals have a touch of genius added to them...they are magic and the magic is Judy Garland. No matter who her co-star was and no matter what the premise of the film...the Garland films are as golden as she was. Every bit of celluloid proves the absolute foresight and genius stroke of why the studio chose her talents over those of Deanna Durbin at the time. In the studio that boasted more stars than there are in the heavens...surely hers was the highest and brightest of them all. This collection is just a sampling of a talent so rare that it makes one wish for more and more and more. Thank God for film...in that medium, we have her frozen in time...forever!
